Overview
Treat yourself to a dreamy lunchtime sail around the Magnetic Island coastline on board Pilgrim, a spectacular 58-foot sailing yacht. Spend a few hours weaving around breathtaking bays, before eventually anchoring and taking a dip in the azure blue waters. Enjoy a swim, relax on the boat's giant inflatable mat or comfy beanbags, and sip on local beers or organic wines.
After enjoying some chill time on the deck and in the water, tuck into a mouthwatering grazing platter of locally-caught prawns, chicken tacos, salads, antipasto, and fresh baguettes. Along the way, guests are invited to either try their hand at sailing, pulling ropes and steering, or kick back, relax, and enjoy the charming sea views.

- Visit stunning, tropical bays and swim in colourful fringing reefs
- Indulge in a scrumptious grazing platter of locally sourced delights
